31. ) 2. This finite value arises from the deviation of the actual shape of individual peaks from Gaussian that becomes significant only for large σ. For our purposes, this deviation can be neglected except in Fig., where we explicitly subtract this limit at r → ∞to avoid the distortion of the logarithmic plot.
